That a large chunk of the nation got duped by a few millionaire tax avoiders, who either didn't live here or have subsequently left to spend more time with their money, doesn't say much good about us. That those people still defend it is embarrassing.
A young fisherman is closing up and moving to the EU to support his family. He’s sold nothing since Brexit. ‘This is just the beginning’ say his colleagues.

Us in a nutshell.
The British tragedy is not that these men enjoy epic unearned privilege. It's not even that they see nothing wrong in such a system. The British tragedy is that millions of people born into state-sanctioned 'inferiority' believe that's where they belong. thetimes.co.uk/article/revea…

Y6: "Miss, will you make us a Shrek beanie please?" Mrs Dowie: "When we get out of lockdown, I’ll make the whole of Y6 a Shrek beanie!" Government: "Children will return to school on 8th March" Mrs Dowie: 🤦‍♀️ 😂😂😂

I have only once written a personal column in ⁦@PrivateEyeNews⁩ in 29 years. It explains why I have very strong views about people seeking help when they have suicidal thoughts, and those they seek help from listening and taking them seriously. Suicide isn’t painless.

There’s a child who thought her mother was coming home today after five years. But another trial is announced for next Sunday. Maybe that means our government has a week to figure out how to make the right thing happen? I know we are all sending love to that family. #FreeNazanin

I’d always assumed that swimming in reservoirs was banned because it’s a bit gross people swimming in the drinking water (or something). This article makes a great case for it. (Nothing to do w grossness or safety: seems to be mainly legal anxiety about landowners getting sued)
16 reasons for swimming access in reservoirs – Brilliant article - for people to benefit from open water swimming, we need to open up these easily accessible and safe spaces so it’s not just something for those of us who are lucky enough to live by the sea outdoorswimmingsociety.com/s…
